House Democrat unveils articles of impeachment against Trump, but misses chance to force vote

House Democrat unveils articles of impeachment against Trump, but misses chance to force vote | 11 Oct 2017 | Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) on Wednesday unveiled articles of impeachment against President Trump in an effort to force a House vote on removing him from office. Green's articles of impeachment were introduced as "privileged," meaning that they must be considered on the House floor within two legislative days. But when the GOP presiding officer moved to begin the process to consider the resolution less than an hour later, Green did not show up. The resolution was therefore not offered and is not getting an imminent vote.
